Abstract: 13,112. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 24. Collecting-rings.-Relates to the construction and arrangement of collecting-rings for unipolar machines in which the armature body itself forms the active conducting-material of the machine. The field structure F, Fig. 1, is excited by a coil f, and the brushes B, B<1> and collecting-rings C, C' are arranged at opposite ends of the armature A. The brushes B', which are enclosed by the field structure, are arranged opposite holes f<1> in the structure. The collecting-rings are constructed with inward projections c, Figs. 2 and 3, which alone are in contact with the armature body, the rings being so arranged that the points of contact lie on spiral curves as shown in Fig. 3, or would do so if the rings were properly interchanged without moving any of them peripherally. A single wide collector C, Fig. 5, arranged with spiral projections c, may take the place of the several collecting-rings. All the brushes B are connected to one terminal of the machine. The projections c may be on the armature body instead of on the rings.
Patent GB-190517708-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for use in Gas-analysis.
Inventor: HARTUNG CARL ADOLF
Filed: 1905-09-01
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 17,708. Hartung, C. A. Sept. 2,1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Compressing; exhausting.-In apparatus for gas analysis, a special pump is used for drawing the gas from a branch conduit and forcing it into the absorption-chamber. In the Figure, gas is drawn from the tube a through the short tube i and mercury seal h, by means of a pump consisting of a liquid inlet-tube b, an air inlet- and outlet-pipe d, a chamber c, into which dips the intermittent adjustable siphon e, and the cylinder g connected to the chamber c by the pipe f. By this construction, contamination with foreign gases is avoided. A tube k connects the pump with the absorptionvessel l. The vessel l is also connected to the U-tube o, one limb of which passes down the tube q, and to the pipe p which leads by a threeway cock to an indicating-means s and a burette t. A pipe m forming a hydraulic trap with the sealing- vessel n extends into the pump-chamber g. As water enters by the tube b, the parts c, d, e, g, q, gradually fill, and the gas in the vessel g is first driven out through the pipe m and seal n, but, when the liquid in the vessel g covers the pipe m, the gas is forced through the tube k into the absorption-vessel l, the driving-liquid having previously sealed the pipe o. The use of the parts m, n ensures an equal volume of gas being pumped into the vessel at each stroke. Measurement of the excess pressure in the vessel l by means of the registering-device s and the burette t indicates the fraction of gas absorbed, the two readings serving to check one another. When the siphon l begins to work, a vacuum is produced in the vessel g and fresh gas is drawn in, while the residual gas in the vessel l escapes by the pipe q. After breakage of the column of liquid in the siphon, the process is repeated.

Patent GB-190519603-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Electrical Circuit Breakers
Filed: 1905-09-28
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 19,603. Crompton & Co., and Harris, R. C. Sept. 28. Cut-outs.-Electro - magnetic means for tripping electric circuit-breakers, on the occurrence of reverse current or overload, either on continuous or alternating current circuits, described in connexion with the circuit-breaker of Specification No. 26,856, A.D. 1903, consists of a moving coil, connected in shunt with the main circuit or independently supplied with current, and lying below the poles of an inverted horseshoe magnet excited by a series or compound coil on one limb. The coil is carried by a pivoted frame provided with adjustable weights or springs to regulate its action. In the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the apparatus has a U-shaped core B fixed to the base - plate of the circuitbreaker, an exciting-coil A, and a thin nearly-flat coil D wound on a non- magnetic frame which is carried by two rods E pivoted at their upper ends. Two flexible conductors O lead current to the coil D from terminals P, which are placed across the mains, if necessary in series with a resistance, or connected to a separate source. A soft-iron keeper C is placed below the coil. When the current through the coil A has the normal direction, the movable frame rests against a stop H, and, when the current reverses, swings to the right and by a lever K lifts the latch J of the circuitbreaker. To make the cut-out operative both with maximum and reverse currents, the stop H is removed. By adjusting weights G along arms L, the apparatus can be set for various amounts of current. The weights G may be replaced by springs. The allowable maximum and reverse currents can be independently varied, as shown in fuller detail in Fig. 7, one of the levers K having pins R lying beneath the two weighted arms L pivoted to the supporting-spindle. Both weights normally rest on supports M, and one or the other must be lifted whichever way the swing takes place. A corresponding movement of the opposite cross-piece lifts the forked end J of the tripping- latch. The weights G are separately adjustable. To produce longer movements, the width of the movable coil or the length of the pole faces is increased, and the latter can be shaped so that the coil moves into an increasingly stronger field. The invention is also not restricted to the use of one coil and one air gap only. The keeper C may be pivoted at one end and linked to the tripping-latch. To make the value of the reverse current at which the apparatus will work independent of variations in the line voltage, without using an independent source of electricity, the magnet B is compoundwound, the series and shunt currents normally flowing in the same direction and therefore opposing when reversal takes place.
